Start with Hearts

These days I have been tending to my feverish family and wondering why oh why is Mary not telling Matthew that she loves him?!

I fiddled with a project that I could easily put down between soup-making and tylenol-administering.




I've loved this project, featured on the Purl Bee, since they posted it.  I tweaked it only slightly to suit me:  I used a really small hole punch so that you couldn't see the holes once I'd crocheted through them.  I also drew a heart template to custom fit the random envelopes I had in my stationary drawer.  The pink yarn I had left after finishing the starfish blanket for Charlotte got put to good use in this project!  My favorite white gel-pen will be perfect for writing love-messages inside the bright cardstock I used.

I'll tell you though: only really special people are getting these...they were a fair bit of work per card!

  1. Oh my! It seems that I was the only one that missed the First Season of Downton Abbey! I had been trying to rent it (not available yet) and on-line, they only have the complete chapters of Season 2. I guess I would have to wait :(
    Beautiful cards Melissa! Congratulations!

  7. Downton Abbey on again tonight! (Daniella - got season one at our local library...was on a waiting list forever but it was worth it...).

    All have recoverred chez moi. At least, I can no longer blame the whining and the taking me for granted on high temperatures.

    Thanks to all you lovelies for your sweet feedback on the Purl Bee cards!
